Letters Patent No. 85,929, dated Jamba/ry 19, 1869.

Dannovnn Bunnies-Ema..

Be it known that I, DAVID E. HALL, of Detroit, in

the county of Wayne, and State of Michigan, have in. vented a certainnew and improved Band-Fastening;

and I do hereby declare that the following is a full .and complete description of the same, reference bein had to the accompanying drawings, making part o this specification, "1n whichf Figure 1 is a perspectiveview of the band-and clamp.

Figure 2, a detached section of the fastening.

Like letters of reference.` refer to like' parts'in the v'.lhis fastening or clamp consists of two sections, A B, figs. 2 and 3, section A being simply anoblongmetallic ring, as shown in g. 2. Section B, which constitutes the clamp, consists of a metallic strip, of which Figure 3 is anenlarged view.

AThe two ends, a, of said strip 'arenot fastened t0, gether, but merely brought in close relation to each other, as shown in the drawing'. The edges of the clamp -areturned inward, and 'in which teeth a are cut, for

the purpose of A engaging and penetrating the hand 'or of the um.

r heit-'0,- the'ends ofwncn are inserted in theniamping," so as to -lap over each other. The clamp is then compressed by the ring A. heilig forced on over it -to the space fbetween 'the nibs c, thereby forcing the teeth tightlyinto the band or webbing O, Iig. 1, which holds it permanently secure. I

Thering, as it passes oven the nibs, depresses them into the holefom which they were struckup, which,

as soon as the ring has passed, spring back, and thereby prevent 'it from slipping oi;

This fastening or clamp is neat -in appearance, simple in its structure, and durable, requiring but little time and ingenuity to manipulate it.

WhatI claim as my invention, and desire to secure v The clamp B, provided with teeth'a and uibs c, as 4 constructed and arranged, in combination with the ring A, for the purpose specified,
